Search Help

Someone brought up a good question during a discussion a few days ago that prompted me to wonder how such a search could be constructed in Logos.

How would you recommend searching for instances in which Jesus was the speaker and he spoke a pejorative to another party?

For example, Matthew 23.

"Pejorative" may be too ill-defined to make a good search. But my approach would be to right click the example verse, look at the tagging and experiment.

longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Evaluation" IN speaker:Jesus is manageable (42 verses), although some of them are positive and Luke 18:12 is somebody assessing themselves in a parable.

propositionalOutline:Miseritude IN speaker:Jesus gives 29 results in 25 verses (all woes).

literaryTyping:"Disputation" IN speaker:Jesus gives 20 results, all in Matthew 23.

Probably, I would combine several searches like this in a passage list and manually remove the false positives.

literaryTyping:"Disputation" IN speaker:Jesus gives 20 results, all in Matthew 23.

speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS literaryTyping:"Disputation" gives more results and you don't have to decide what term fully contains the other.

From right-click in Mt 23.4:

speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS culture:Hypocrisy - results from Mt to Lk, many in Mt 23
speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS event:"Jesus condemns the religious leaders" - not as many as above, but interesting

Thanks all! These are helpful.

I also tried connecting with louwNida:88.105-237 which appear to be all negative traits.
